Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew through this Kennebunk Beach outlook. I'm calling it as I see it, and honestly, it's a tough one.
Right from the start, we're staring down a 16-day period with no real hope. Not a single standout day. It's a total blank run, and for a spot that’s as sheltered as this one, that kinda dry spell is normal. Don't get your hopes up.
The closest we get to a pulse is on Tuesday afternoon, the 21st of July. The water temp is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, at 65°F. We get a small 4ft swell from the ESE with a weak period of 7 seconds. The energy is moderate at 154. The wind will be light and offshore from the east, so it'll be clean, but the waves will be weak and unimpressive. It's technically ridable, but not worth the trip.
Wednesday the 22nd of July morning, the swell jumps to a solid 7ft from the SE, but a stiff onshore wind from the SSW will trash it. That size with that wind on a beach break is nothing but a choppy mess—you'd be better off on a kite than a paddle board.
So, the verdict is simple: there's no surf to chase. Save your energy, and maybe check back later. Forecasts can change, but right now, the ocean is saying "not today."
Rusty.

Information about the Kennebunk Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Kennebunk Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Kennebunk Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Kennebunk Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Kennebunk Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Kennebunk Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
